Doesn't work

Posted by: MikeG1981 from Colorado on 02/07/2014So before I buy a product, I look for reviews, and wish some websites would leave the reviews on there. I only found five reviews on this fairly new product last year. You can go thru and not read the manufacturers reviews, and the real unhappy people. The reviews I read were ok I sh After I purchased it and found that the mother board I bought from best buy, a intel board, doesn't recognize the capture card. When I tried to find any updates or software for the card, what I found were new reviews stating that the card doesn't work for specific cards.
However StarTech Tech support and I went several steps to try to make it work. They believed it was a bad card, they were good enough to send a new one out and paid for shipping for the old one and the new one. The issue is that it still doesn't recognize the card. Recognizing the card means I tried all my PCI spots, which for my board I had a few options, the techs thought I might have installed it wrong, well going thru diagnostic, I didn't both times. The specifications for the card states that Intel boards should work, well my intel board it didn't work.
So for my review, sure it is easy to the card hardware in, but when it doesn't recognize the card, then install is a issue. How it performs, well I can say badly because it doesn't perform at all. The use of the product is not with ease. When the product says it's compatible, well it is not. The price of purchasing this card, well for the money and time for me trying to make it work was wasted.
And now looking for a replacement card, yes I still have the StarTech card that doesn't work, I find that the reviews are gone again... What good are reviews for researching a product, when the reviews have been deleted...
